It is from our Tech Manual


They have wholesale cut and pasted information from the Tech Manual.  We have asked them to cease and desist, they indicated that they had acknowledged the source so consider it ok and then threatened to sue us out of existence.


What more can i say.

I see, thank you. I recall it now.

I see their posts, comments and, to be honest, I do not think I like them.

Pawel,


I agree, in Australia we would call it a dog act but in USA some very different rules apply apparently.


Like you, i don’t think i like them either🤬

Palm Beach WAS a distributor for Gummiwerks in Germany that handle materials like colored door sill mats. Not sure what happened but their distributorship was pulled. I have bought Gummiwerks mats and they are really nice. So I doubt there was an issue with product quality.

Pawel, that FB link does not work any longer.  Perhaps they read the comments and pulled it?

Quite likely. It is not good to keep your post with this kind of exchange, suggesting things are not quite in order...

Old good rule of social media: hold any response to uncomfortable posts...
